DOT Tips & Blogs

In the context of the Department of Transportation (DOT) and commercial vehicle operations, SPH stands for Safety Performance History.

This refers to the records that employers of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers are required to maintain and share regarding the safety performance of their drivers. These records are crucial for evaluating the eligibility and safety of potential hires in the transportation industry.

Specifically, SPH includes information about a driver’s:

  • Crash history.
  • Safety violations not related to controlled substances or alcohol.
  • Drug and alcohol violations, which are now primarily checked through the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.
  • Previous employment with DOT-regulated employers in the preceding three years.

Employers are required to request and review a driver’s SPH from all previous DOT-regulated employers for the past three years when hiring a new driver. This process is outlined in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), specifically 49 CFR Part 391, Subpart B § 391.23.

The purpose of collecting and maintaining SPH is to ensure that drivers operating commercial vehicles have a good safety record, thereby promoting public safety on the roads.

Accredited Drug Testing such as IPS Drug Testing Services provides FMCSA Clearinghouse Services which will ensure full compliance for single/owner-operators and trucking companies. Our services include step-by-step assistance in all areas relating to the FMCSA Clearinghouse. IPS also has an Onboarding system to help Safety Managers to keep track of all DQ (Driver’s Qualifications) requirements including Pre-Employment Verifications.

DRUG and Breath Alcohol Testing

Drug Testing Services for ALL DOT Divisions such as FMCSA, FAA, FTA, and USCG. We coordinate all test activities with our clients, clinics, MRO, Labs, and the drivers to make sure all reports are accurate and sent to our clients fast. We also have an enterprise software using which our clients can access their random lists, drivers, results, invoices, and stats.

Random Program Management

We have over 15,000 drivers in our random pool segregated by individual pools for large clients. We also have our own consortium to manage randoms for our smaller clients. We generate pools for Drug and Breath Alcohol Tests with Alternates in case the drivers in the pool are not available. We administer these pools accurately and save test results which is used for statistical reports generation required by the law.

 

MRO Service

We have experienced and certified MROs in staff to speak with every individual who has a positive lab results. Our MRO reviews all DOT and non-DOT results intensely and provide consultation when it is needed before a report is made to the company. MROs' review of the drug test results protects both the employee and the employer from liabilities inherent in any drug testing program. The integrity of your Drug Testing program depends on its fairness and accuracy.

 

24x7 Service

We provide 24x7 service for our clients for Emergency situation. When your driver is engaged in an accident and issued a ticket there are guidelines available from DOT to identify if a Post Accident Drug Test is needed. We will be with you to make sure that we set up required tests for the driver and send him or her to the nearest clinic to help our clients take all necessary steps. We will report the test results within a day of receiving the results from the Lab.

 

Laboratory and Clinical Service

We have agreements with TOP Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Certified Laboratories across the nation. We are electronically linked with each laboratory and own MRO, so we receive test results 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

 

Fast Reports

We know your drivers are waiting for results for the Pre-employment drug screens. This is why we send you reports within 24 hours of getting the results from the lab. A majority of our reports go out on the same day.
